Shed Maintenance
The weather has been great over the long bank holiday weekend and I have spent a whole lot of time on the allotment.
I've had making this bird feeder in my mind for some time, and in clearing the greenhouse and finding bird feeders that Emma & Kelly had bought me in the past, and unearthing some basket hangers, I screwed them to the old handrail that I brought down to the allotment when I had the stairlift fitted 10 years ago. An example of how the wood pile I have in the racking is useful.
Excess coffee grounds now stored in a Dalek on plot 1A near the greenhouse and I also shared the love a gave a sack to John, Wally and Machelle. My sister Elaine gets the coffee for me from Starbucks when she gets her morning fix for the day.

Full Day On The Plot
It's been about 10 hours on the allotment today which I started by making a planting membrane sheet specifically for the Butternut Squash and Courgette bed.
I opened the potting shed door in the morning to find that the Cookie Fairy had left a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a cake thinking that only one daughter would be with me but I had both of my girls with me this morning for a while.

Allotment Site Reps Meeting
Allotment site reps meeting this morning and a couple of hours on the plot this afternoon. Enjoying the sunshine and the pebble pool watching the bees coming and having a drink and listening to the birds.

Morning On The Allotment
Broccoli Purple Rain.
Allotment in the morning today as I had things to do and people to see in the afternoon. So about 3 hours of potting up vegetables and planting bunches of spring onions in Square Foot Gardening Bed 2.
The batteries in the bottom right are in a solar charger and I have two sets of batteries one in the DAB Radio in the potting shed and the other set on charge courtesy of the sun
